Update on City's Electrical Aggregation Program. Asking Clerk li to update the Council on the program, she advised that the City's contract will expire in February, 2017. ComEd rates continue to be lower than what the aggregation program can offer, and it is the recommendation of Progressive Energy to let the contract lapse next month. Any existing participants will automatically default to ComEd. Last summer, ComEd lowered their rates, and participating residents were notified that they could either continue with MidAmerican Energy or opt out and return to ComEd. Clerk li added that ComEd is scheduled to release new electrical rates in April, 2017, and at that time the City will investigate if there are electrical savings that can be passed along to the consumer through the aggregation program.
